Android - Clear Browsing Data Upon Exit - Not Working Properly

Question

I am using Android App Version Edge 46.01.4.5140 and my browsing data is not cleared upon the exit of the Edge browser. 

Under Settings - Privacy and Security - Clear browsing data, the 'clear browsing data upon exit' is toggled to On with browsing history, cookies and site data, and caches images and files checked.

I click on the ellipse '...' then click on 'Exit browser' to close the browser. When I go back to the 'clear browsing data' setting, I can see my data still present and not cleared.

Any advice? Thanks
